The MTV Video Music Award for the Best New Artist went to 50 Cent on Thursday night. Upon accepting the award, 50 told the audience, “Oh, man. I want to thank — I didn’t get a chance to thank everybody I needed to thank. I wanted to thank Obie, September 23rd his album is in stores. Shady family you know how that goes. I want to thank Jimmy and the entire staff. I want to thank Eminem. He is my partner. (Cheers and applause) the whole D-12 crew. Dr. Dre, the entire Aftermath staff and once again I want to thank everybody out here that came out here tonight to make this special night. Thank you.”
